Lectures
Proving God
Logical Proof for Monotheism
Presenting, explaining, and defending a simple proof that
a rational, omnipotent, omniscient creator God exists,
and that there is only one such God.
Proving the Son of God
Logical Proof of the Shared Deity of the Image of God
It's easy to prove that a creator God exists, but in this
lecture, in addition to deductively proving that God exists, multiple
arguments will be combined to demonstrate the deductive
necessity of not just God, but also of His Son.
Presuppositional Apologetic Methodology
How to Discern the Most Critical Differences Between Worldviews
Presuppositional reasoning is often mocked, ridiculed, and misunderstood. However, it is one of
the best ways to accurately represent both one's own view, and one's opponent's view. It is also
particularly adept at enabling the apologist to discern the root of error in the non-Christian's view.
Attributes of God
What is God Like?
Dealing with complex theological difficulties, this presentation covers
God's omnitemporality,
omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and moral character. Dealing with common objections such
as the Euthyphro
Dilemma, knowledge
of tensed facts, and whether omnipotence entails contradictions,
these difficult abstract concepts will become much simpler.
Is God Evil?
Stephen Law's Evil God Challenge Dismantled
Even if we grant that God exists,
why
should we think that God is good rather than evil? The question
is actually far sillier than it seems at first and, in analyzing the question, the foundations for
Christian thought will be brought to light in stark contrast to the foundations of humanism.
In Printed Form
Along with numerous other authors including Don Landis, Bodie Hodge and Roger Patterson, Timothy McCabe contributes analyses of various world religions and cults in this volume from Master Books.
Other Writings
"If there is a God, but there is no evidence to be found for his existence except subjective experiences, is it not reasonable to assume that if he does exist, he does not want us to know about it?"
The conclusion does not seem reasonable to me. First, the premise is very unclear, and I will explain what I mean. Second, in the only way I can see that the premise could be considered true, the conclusion does not seem to be reasonably based on it. AN UNCLEAR PREMISE First, the premise seems unclear in that it seems to suggest that evidence is the only way to justifiably be convinced of something. But note that rational thought cannot exist without reason behind it.

"Can there be objective morality with a God? If God is the source of morality, then morality is subject to the will of God, so isn't it by definition subjective?"
There can only be objective moral values with God. When we state that objective moral values exist, what we mean is that there are moral values that govern all humans, regardless of whether or not those humans want those values to govern them, like those values, or accept those values. If moral values were the result of popular vote, then they would only govern humans because humans had decided to allow them to govern them. Then moral values would not be objective, but rather, subjective.
